It is to believe that the puppies are starting to head to their forever homes. It's a sad and happy time for us. 💕🏡💕

Because of being hand raised, Danny has the instinct to suckle on toys and our fingers. We thought it would be fun to share.

Since Danny has his cleft palate he can't drink from a normal water bowl. Maybe eventually in the future he can drink out a raised water bowl. But for now he is learning how to drink from a drip water bottle. Just one more thing we've had to learn and figure out with Danny. 🐾
All the other pups have learned how to drink out of a water bowl, but now they also know how to drink out of a drip water bottle! 😂

We were trying to figure out what was going on Danny. At first we thought he was regurgitating again, but we realized that it was clear and didn't follow the same patterns as he's done before. After the first day he had multiple episodes. Shout out to Courtney! You have been amazing with all your advice!!! 🙏 She's from techs4clefts and she was able to help us figure out what was going on.
Danny is almost 6 weeks old and this is the time when puppies start teething. So the excess saliva that would normally get swallowed ends up getting pushed out through the palate and out of his nose. Unfortunately, this often causes panic which results in even more saliva. So you have a cascading event that just gets worse.
We use a children's nasal aspirator to help clean out the extra saliva from his mouth and nostrils. As time goes on he will learn and adapt and not have these episodes anymore. Though it might take another week or two during this teething phase before that happens. We've been keeping him with us so we can monitor him in case he needs help. Part of the big picture is to let him work it out so that he can learn. But we're there in case he needs a little extra help.
Today he's been doing great! We haven't had any issues! I think we are finally figuring out what we're doing. 😂

We've been learning and struggling along the way to figure out what works and what doesn't. There isn't a lot of information out there so it's been a learning experience. Letting him suckle is just one of the many things we do for Danny and he's worth it! 🐾🐶🐾

This is a milestone for Danny! Since he was born he's had difficulty breathing through his nose.
We even noticed that one nostril wasn't even working properly. But as he's grown, he's been able to breathe better and better out of his nose. But this is the first time we've actually seen him breathe completely through his nose!
Usually he has to breathe with his mouth partly open while sleeping or awake. So it is amazing that he's now grown and developed enough that he can breathe so much better!!!
